Box­er said, “I am de­lighted to wel­come Sen­at­or Book­er to the En­vir­on­ment and Pub­lic Works Com­mit­tee. The EPW Com­mit­tee does such im­port­ant work, in­clud­ing in­vest­ing in the na­tion’s wa­ter and trans­port­a­tion in­fra­struc­ture, en­sur­ing our fam­il­ies have clean air to breathe and safe wa­ter to drink, as well as over­see­ing many oth­er im­port­ant fed­er­al pro­grams. Sen­at­or Book­er is a wel­come ad­di­tion, and I look for­ward to work­ing with him on these crit­ic­al is­sues.”
